My Story

“Bruce knows what it takes to rise above dysfunctional patterns and organize your life to support what you love. His coaching helped me create simplicity and success by uncovering and focusing on my passion.”

Personal Life Coach

My first client was Sharon Wood, 1st N. American woman to summit Mount Everest, in 1986. Subsequently,I helped her reinvent herself as a motivational speaker.

Since then, I’ve coached, spoken to and done workshops for thousands of clients on six continents.

I developed a Coach Training Program for Peer Resources in Victoria, BC.

I’ve helped numerous coaches set up and implement their own successful practices.

Professional Coach

As an Associate of the Action Studies Institute, I designed programs for developing generic skills for business and education.

I was an Advanced Instructor for Robert Fritz’s Technologies for Creating program, and contributed briefing notes on “practice” to Peter Senge’s The Fifth Discipline Handbook.

Writer

I’m teaching myself how to write memoir about how a naive schoolteacher navigated dysfunctional systems, jobs and institutions and—after many false starts and setbacks—learned to create his own dream job as a freelance coach and writer.
